Every one has there own opinions but id go with a Nova Extreme fixture.

What kinda corals you keep ? I love mine. I have a 6 bulbs over a 75 gal and have steady 170+ par readings along the bottom with the orriginal Bulbs.

Why not cut down to a 150w halide? Or do you just really want to try the T5s?

well i think i can get beter color out of t5's from what i have heard, but i wouldnt be against having a 150 i just think what i got now is just to much

would 96w be enough? and what color combo would be good?

Have you thought about LED's? I am running LEDs over my BC29 and love them. I'm running four colors all on separate dimming circuts, Cree XR-E Cool White, Cree XR-E Royal Blue, Cree XR-E Blue, Cree XR-E Neutral White. The colors that I'm getting out of them is just fantastic and I just thought I'd metion them to ya.
